12 puppies still having a bad time...

Just so that you can see how bad things are...

Still a huge problem with the beds...

I have now bought three all in all. Two big ones and one gigantic...

Celebrating life with a jump of joy...we hope!

Life is not always easy and things don’t always run as smoothly as we wish. We were delighted with our filly, well built legs, full of joy, but then, day 3 she was walking on three legs and run a fever. Not all that much, but enough to worry us and bring a vet out.

The result was a trip straight to the animal hospital. A long and nightmarish drive with Ivy calling for her foal in the trailer and us knowing we had an unsteady three-day old foal… Continue
